Turnpike Gates

We would drag ourselves to bed

And sleep took everything I had

I kept it up till he would call

You made me feel like a criminal

And then there's you

You kept a smile though I would always walk the wire

You gave it all

I gave you reason to have doubt

I had to get out of there

I took the stairs

I don't wanna fight with you if I can't be the one to have you

You sat that chair like a queen in the kitchen

I memorized the lines your eyes made at every squint you shot my way

We would drag ourselves to bed

And sleep took everything I had

I kept it up till he would call

You made me feel like a criminal

And then there's you,

You kept a smile though I would always walk the wire

But you're miserable and I'm useless

Always making up excuses

I made you cry too many times

So I'm hanging up that line

I'm throwing rocks at your floor

I'm knocking down your front door

I'm desperate tonight and I just wanna fight

It's my confusion that lets me act so cold

So now I'll go, go, go

And you wanna be just left alone

Put down that phone, cause if you want me just call out: Hey, boy!
